Common questions about Surveillance Cameras & Access Control
How long should surveillance footage be kept?
Retention should follow a defined purpose, risk, privacy obligations, storage capacity, and incident process, not an arbitrary maximum.
Can cameras avoid private or sensitive areas?

Can access cards be removed immediately?
Authorized administrators can manage credentials according to the selected system and offboarding process. Roles and emergency procedures should be documented.
